The same thing happened when swedish video game developers started selling porn for the Atari.
Telling them what they have to sell is akin to telling them what they can not sell. If you don't like their business model, don't patronize them. It really is that simple. Don't get all up in arms about it, because I bet half of you have books you wouldn't show your mothers. I couldn't care less if you have them, but I'm not going to insist you can't hide them.

Well if it were Binky Dinky's online bookstore that nobody has heard of the above would hold, but Amazon *is* online book-selling for most people out there, so the community has a clear interest in its policies.
So complaining is absolutely legitimate, while everyone disagreeing with Amazon's decisions will make his/her own choices. I signed the petition and for now I hold off on further judgment until some more time passes and it is clear if this is Amazon's policy or just an error
But it's amazing how fast they are learning to annoy people badly...
